I fell upon another site today, iNudge.net. The site is a tone matrix, or whatever you wish to call it. It’s one of the better free matrix sequencers I seen. You have more room to make more than just a simple repeatative beat, you can put a little more thought into your composition. Not that beats aren’t important, but I’m just saying I like this one.
You can also embed your composition, so check it out.
I love when I read something that I have no idea what it’s talking about. I’m sure it’s not too hard to grab the concept, but when you’re just trying to find a simple explanation and it’s not very simple, well, … here we are.
“WolframTones works by taking simple programs from Wolfram‘s computational universe, and using music theory and Mathematica algorithms to render them as music.” Now here’s a very basic explanation, you can use WolframTones to generate music in various styles and genres. I don’t want you to think the program is really as simple as I describe, it’s significantly more impressive by design. I’m just making an attempt for the fast reader.
Take a moment of your time and head over to Wolfram and “find your music in the computational world”. You can even download it, always a plus.
THE CODEORGAN ANALYSES THE *BODY* CONTENT OF ANY WEB PAGE AND TRANSLATES THAT CONTENT INTO MUSIC. THE CODEORGAN USES A COMPLEX ALGORITHM TO DEFINE THE KEY, SYNTH STYLE AND DRUM PATTERN MOST APPROPRIATE TO THE PAGE CONTENT.FIRSTLY, THE CODEORGAN SCANS THE PAGE CONTENTS AND REMOVES ALLCHARACTERS NOT FOUND IN THE MUSICAL SCALE (A TO G), AND THEN ANALYSES THE REMAINING CHARACTERS TO FIND THE MOST COMMONLY USED ‘NOTE’. IF THIS IS AN EVEN NUMBER THE PAGE IS TRANSLATED IN TO THE MAJOR PENTATONIC SCALE OF THAT PARTICULAR NOTE, IT BECOMES MINOR IF THERE IS AN UNEVEN NUMBER.SECONDLY, THE CODEORGAN DEFINES WHICH SYNTHESIZER TO USE. THIS ISBASED UPON THE TOTAL NUMBER CHARACTERS USED ON THE WEBPAGE – THERE ARE CURRENTLY 10 SYNTHESIZER EFFECTS AND THE ONE CHOSEN IS PICKED BASED UPON THE PERCENTAGE OF CONTENT.LASTLY, THE CODEORGAN SELECTS A DRUM LOOP BASED UPON THE RATIO OF CHARACTERS ON THE PAGE VERSUS THE NUMBER OF CHARACTERS THAT ARE ACTUALLY MUSICAL NOTES – THERE ARE CURRENTLY 10 DIFFERENT DRUM LOOPS TO PICK FROM.GO AND MAKE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC TOGETHER.THE CODEORGAN PEOPLE
Some people are audio tools and some people have audio tools. This intro is somewhat pointless, but in a sense it helps me get to my point. And no, it’s not that I am a tool… silly goose.
Hobnox.com Audiotool, you heard of it? Well if you haven’t, you definitely should. I created a short video, so you can see what I’m talking about.
… and hey, let’s just say you don’t feel like getting so serious. Then why not make your way over to Sheep Beats?
